    That's what I was thinking too. It looks way better than Hasbro's Strongarm. (Both deluxe and the Battle pack versions)

    Is it weird that I find these way simpler mini-con versions of the characters look much better than their Warrior class counterparts? Especially Strongarm and Grimlock.

    This one looks way better than the deluxe just by having a way cleaner backpack and no boxes around her arms. Though neither are totally accurate this one at least looks nicer. May pick it up.

    I wish Strongarm was a bit bigger and had her door wings, but other than that she definitely looks a lot nicer than the Warrior version.

    What size is this? That Strongarm almost looks like she could fit in the CHUGverse...

    Strongarm is about scout-sized.

    Hmmm. A minibot femme with that name, almost perfect as Brawn's love interest. :D

    I'm enjoying this line of Commander-scale figures. They are a lot better than their deluxe versions (Grimlock is VERY good), plus they are generally pretty fun to transform.
    I don't like NuRiD, but I do like these a lot.

    This Strongarm will be mine. Seeing her with paint apps as opposed to ridiculously bare bones Hasbro version... Wow, just wow.

    Now, TakTom version actually looks like Strongarm, not like her knock-off.

    It also destroys the Warrior-class version.

    ...I really want that Strongarm... I hope she's about the same height as her Warrior class toy though (have they shown the two standing side by side yet?)
    But wow, this fixes just about every issue I had with the Warrior class Strongarm mold!

    This class is Scout/Commander-sized. The new deluxes are short, but these are shorter than them.

    No it is not weird. When tf prime was running cybervese toys - legions and commander class toys consistetly looked better than voyagers and deluxes. Megatron and shockwave actually have the intended charcter proportions the bigger sizes can not pull off because of bad design and/or "constraints". Legion smokescreen, airachnid, a number of wins for the little guys.

    Shame that has not continued into rid with quite the same verve.

    That Strongarm looks amazing.

    As always, Takara has the ability to make already cool figures look even better.

    Darn.
    Alright, then I am now hoping for an OS KO of this. ^_^
